"This Showa-era business hotel is right outside Matsue Station's South Exit. The lobby is sunken, which might be a bit inconvenient for those with heavy luggage. The room facilities are quite old, there's no outlet by the bed, and power is activated by an old-fashioned key card system (or rather, a key). The large public bath on the top floor wasn't open, and the elevator is also very small. When you go out, you need to hand your key to the front desk, and when you return, you show a card with your room number to retrieve your key and meal voucher. They offer free breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a buffet with limited options, and for dinner, you can choose between a curry set meal or a daily Japanese-style set. All in all, for just over 200 a night, including breakfast and dinner, what more could you ask for? If it doesn't mind my budget, I won't mind its age."
"Matsue Excel Hotel Tokyu was our 5th hotel in this journey, and honestly, it set the bar pretty high.
The location was hard to beat — right opposite Matsue Station, and it could be easily reached through an underpass, which was especially helpful when travelling with big luggage or during bad weather.
One big surprise for us was the check-in experience. We arrived at the hotel at around 11.30am, fully expecting to leave our luggage and return later, but we were told that our room was already ready and we could occupy it immediately instead of waiting until the usual 3pm check-in time. It also seemed that they upgraded our booking to a Standard Double Room, which made the experience even better. Two thumbs up for this hotel.
Even though we had booked a Standard Single Room, the space genuinely surprised us. The room came with a queen bed and was more than comfortable for two of us. We were able to fully open our large suitcases without feeling cramped — something that is not always guaranteed in Japanese hotels.
The room layout was practical and well thought out, with a proper TV console and work desk with a chair, a single sofa with a small table, an air purifier, and a fridge. The TV model was a bit outdated, though it did not affect our stay.
The bathroom was also spacious, with a proper bathtub that allowed us to stretch our legs comfortably after long days out. The bed was very comfy, and they provided two pillows for each of us, which made our sleep even better.
Amenities and bottled water were provided at the lobby area, which we found convenient. We paid around SGD159 (JPY19,000) for two nights, and it was excellent value.
Overall, it was one of the best hotels in this journey, and we would gladly stay here again."
"Although the public areas of this hotel look outdated, the rooms are modern and clean. However, the room is too small for two people. Considering the location and price, it's decent for just an overnight stay."
"An affordable hotel with a large public bath.
You can enjoy the hot waters of Matsue Shinjiko Onsen.
The room is small but Japanese-style, and there are USB type-C and type-A outlets next to the pillow.
Rental bicycles are available.
There is also a convenience store called Popura on the first floor, which may be useful for those who want to stay within the hotel.
The downtown area is a little far, but you can get there by renting a bicycle."
[With Large Public Bath & Sauna] Newly Built Hotel Opening August 2026! Approx. 3-min Walk from Matsue Station. 208 rooms in total, just a 3-minute walk from Matsue Station. Premium guest rooms incorporating the Japanese elegance of Matsue. We offer a superior stay with enhanced peace of mind and comfort—refresh your mind and body in our large public bath and sauna.
"This is considered quite stingy for a budget hotel in Japan. Laundry costs extra, dryer costs extra, and laundry detergent costs 100 yen. They don't provide skincare sets, bottled water, or disposable slippers (I asked the front desk, and they said the hotel doesn't provide them). Even the public bath lacks skincare products, and there were unidentified stains on the curtains.
The facilities, however, are very new and clean. Except for the curtains and slippers, everything else is very well cleaned. Check-in is self-service; you can complete the process without speaking to the front desk."
"Suitenkaku was our first stay in a Ryokan. Those who want to visit Tottori, Izumo and Sakaiminato will find Matsue well located, while the Ryokan is next door to the Ichibata railway deserving the Izumo Taisha. The room was renovated and very spacious, offering a direct view to the lake. Above all, the staff was absolutely friendly and helpful. Real Omotenashi !
We are fully satisfied with our stay. Will repeat for our next stay in the area."
"The hotel is in a good location, very close to Ichibata Railway Shinjiko Onsen Station, only two or three minutes' walk away. It is very convenient to take the Ichibata Railway to Izumo Taisha Shrine. The hotel rooms are large, clean and tidy. The buffet breakfast and dinner are very good, including seafood bowls. The hot springs are also good and the baths are very comfortable."

Amazing
GGuest UserThe hotel is located in the shopping street, and there is a bus to Songjiang outside the turn.
The service staff are all very polite, say a thank you, they will reply to you thank you
The room is very large and luxurious, the kind I want
There are two hot springs in the room, one hot and one cold
The room actually uses a Refu hair dryer to praise!
Very comfortable
The only pity is that the room has no good view
But it snowed heavily at night
The terrace looks out and the roof tiles are snowy and beautiful
Two meals in the morning and evening for two nights
Food quality is high and there is no repeat
In the morning, there is a salmon tea stained rice and a Japanese breakfast.
The eel rice is very special, but I personally prefer traditional Japanese style.
Overall a high quality two nights
I will definitely come back to Songjiang to stay at the Meiguan.
AAnonymous UserThe hotel is located near Matsue station. The front desk agents were very polite and did their best to talk to me, despite my very broken Japanese. Guests are given a locker, protected by a keycard. The locker itself was good enough for me, who took only a conventional backpack and a pair of shoes, but might not be enough for those who are not traveling light like that. The bathrooms were shared and quite clean, fully furnished with amenities for showers and personal hygiene. WiFi was included and it was quite decent for general use, even when inside the shared bedroom. The bed capsule had a pillow and a blanket, lights and power outlets for phones. I had more space than I imagined, enough for me to sit on the bed. The only downside of this room type was air circulation, probably due to the hot climate that's been the standard here in Japan lately, but I think the fans could work more efficiently or the capsules could use an AC outlet. Other than that, I recommend this location and will certainly stay with them again.
Yyang lanA very beautiful courtyard-style hot spring hotel; the Japanese-style room I booked was more spacious than I expected. The hotel environment is beautiful, and the hot spring is comfortable. The staff are warm, attentive, and provide meticulous service. The breakfast and dinner were of very high quality!
PPipidetaotaoThis is probably the most cost-effective hotel I've stayed in during my dozen visits to Japan. It includes three breakfasts for two adults and one child. The mixed rice and freshly made Izumo soba noodles are all delicious. Free probiotic drinks are provided in the morning, free cold drinks are provided in the afternoon, free ramen is provided after 9:30 pm, and pear pudding is provided in the room refrigerator. Although the bathroom is not big, it actually has a TV, and two washbasins inside and outside are very convenient. The sound insulation and hygiene are also great. It's not far from the JR station, and it's less than ten minutes' walk to the Acupuncture Lake. It's so nice to take a cup of hotel coffee and sit by the lake after breakfast.
RREI YSIt’s really a very good hotel. I didn’t expect anything from Shimagen, but from the beginning of landing at Izumo Airport, all the way to the hotel, I met very warm and friendly people. The staff of the bridge management were very enthusiastic and responsible. The design and facilities of the hotel can be said that I have lived in the top three in all Japanese hotels. The design is obviously very attentive, convenient and practical, not fancy, simple and generous, and the room is really clean. The hotel is on the right hand side of the station and the traffic is convenient. The reception staff at the front desk were not only enthusiastic and patient, but also specially printed the Chinese version of the hotel guide, moved, great praise! ! !
GGuest UserIt's a very small place. There are few young Japanese people. They are all local middle-aged and elderly people. The hotel staff can hardly speak English, but we can communicate smoothly by gestures. It costs about 50 RMB to take a taxi from the JR station to the hotel. There is no hotel email address when booking through Ctrip. It may also be that the hotel does not have it, so we can't contact the hotel to pick us up. We can only wait for an empty car at the station. When leaving, it is much more convenient to get a free drop-off. There is a drop-off schedule in the picture. Please tell the hotel front desk in advance.
Jjo taroIt feels like an old inn has been renewed for private guests. The building may be old, but the interior is beautiful.
The single private room is super small with only a bed. Well, there is no problem with lying down and looking at your phone. It's a private room, but of course, you can hear the snoring in the next room, as well as the sound of opening the bag. It might be better to have an earphone.
However, there is an inner hot water, the location is good, and the price is sufficiently satisfactory.
GGuest UserIt is a 20-minute walk from Matsue Station, so it is difficult to drag a suitcase there.
It is nice that there is a large public bath.
The breakfast is delicious and offers great value for money.
Highly recommended.
看看山看水看雲A hotel that is convenient. There is an articial spring in the basement that closes at 1am. Good for people who have got a long day out. The bedding is clean but a bit yellowish.
Very polite and good hotel staff. They let us store the luggage for two nights while we r away and will come back to stay on the 3rd night.
